Many have not heard of the United Nations’ eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). They were a blueprint agreed by all the world’s countries and leading development institutions. The aim was to meet the needs of the world’s poorest by halving extreme poverty rates, halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by 2015. There is now a post-MDG agenda - the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. At the Sustainable Development Summit on 25 September 2015, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were proposed with the intention of finishing the job in the areas of Poverty, Hunger, Health and Well-Being, Education, Gender Equality, Clean Water and Affordable Clean Energy, Work and Economic Growth, Industry Innovation, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, Life below water, Life on Land, and Peace and Justice.
